According to the liner
notes, the idea for “Women of Destiny” came from the Relief Society declaration.
It’s intent is to support “the values and principles described in [it]
and celebrate the unique gifts women share.” I think the compilers
of the album, Staci Peters & Tyler Castleton, have done an excellent
job of choosing songs that do just that. The songs on this album
truly celebrate all the women of the church.

There are songs such
as “Sister in Christ”, sung by Gladys Knight that remind us what women
can truly do if they work for righteous goals. “What Heaven Sees
in You,” reminds us of exactly who we really are. There are songs celebrating
the special strengths of women. There is a song on this album
that every woman can identify no matter what stage of life she is in
and no matter what is happening in her life currently.

Not only are the messages
of the songs important but also the music itself is wonderful.
All 12 songs on this album are very well done. They are beautifully
sung and the musical accompaniment for each song compliments the words
very well. I am a big believer that music can really help bring
the spirit in or chase it away; depending on the music. These songs
do an excellent job of inviting the spirit in to a room or a car.
The music can also be very calming and bring a sense of peace when you
are listening to it. The songs on “Women of Destiny” will truly
touch your heart. The first time I heard the song “She,” it made
me cry.

I reviewed this album
first, because it could be an idea for a Mother’s Day gift. I
would highly recommend this for anyone needing a wonderful gift for
his or her mom. However, it would make a great gift for any woman
in your life. Most albums require more than one listening before
I truly enjoy the whole thing, but this one I loved from the first song
.
I wanted to develop a rating system for these reviews and this is what
I have chosen: 4) Wonderful 3) Good 2) Fair and 1) Save Your Money.
This album gets a definite 4. The album is well worth the $15.98
price tag.
